Liked: It's a little bit far away from the railwaystation and the sound proof is not good as it's a wooden house. But others are all good

Liked: The staff was very fun and helpful and all spoke very good English. They could either arrange for you or direct you to any activity that you could possibly do in switzerland! The atmosphere was very fun there-complete with its own bar and night club- and town was only about a ten minute walk.

04 November 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Walls were v thin, making it hard to sleep when people were talking in the hallway... This would have been less annoying had there not been plenty of space they could have talked elsewhere, but I guess that is all part of the hostel experience.

08 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Pros:It has a good kitchen access for its guests. The breakfast and bus pass during your stay for Interlaken is included in your rate.Cons:Location is not very suitable. It is quite far from both Interlaken Ost and Interlaken West train station (around 20 - 25 mins walk).Room was too small.

Liked: The happy hour brings the whole hostel together! Kitchen is a plus so you can make your own dinner and the market is right around the corner. They have every extreme sport and you can book it right there through them. Really lively hostel almost like a frat house! Great place to stay and i would suggest everyone to stay there!

24 August 2009

Liked: The hostel might be a kind of long-run hostel with memories of various people so far but now it's too old and needs some renovation. There are quite a gap between rooms so for the potential risk, I would definitely not recommend here to my close friends until it gets renovated.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

23 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Only complaint is that there is a lockout period from 10:30 - 4. So, if u want to sleep in, u can't...or u have to move somewhere else in the hostel i.e. couch or hammock. The two happy hours were awesome though.

17 August 2009

Liked: Too big! I felt like cattle in a factory. There is a free kitchen, but it only has 5 pots for approx 250 guests. This is order to promote their overpriced burger. An example of their 'comercialism' is the fact that they even sell gadgets of their hostel (e.g. keychain, clothes, ...)
